Lorash Ashbourne, Derbyshire

This charming cottage places you right in the centre of Ashbourne, one of the prettiest market towns in the Peak District. Wander just a few steps from the cottage to discover Georgian streets filled with independent boutiques, antique shops, bakeries and cafes. The cobbled marketplace is the heart of the town and offers a lively atmosphere throughout the week. For outdoor enthusiasts, the start of the Tissington Trail is less than 1 mile away, giving you instant access to miles of peaceful walking and cycling routes. Dovedale, with its iconic stepping stones, lies 4 miles away and is perfect for riverside strolls. Carsington Water (7 miles) is ideal for walks and water sports. For show stopping scenery, Ilam Park is 5 miles away, and Thorpe Cloud rises just beyond (5.5 miles). With great food, beautiful landscapes and easy access to the southern Peak District, Ashbourne is perfectly placed for both relaxed days and active adventures.

Arrive via an inclined walkway and step into a tucked-away courtyard, where the cottage sits quietly behind the bustle of Ashbourne’s market streets. Inside, the layout follows a traditional and delightfully quirky arrangement. The ground floor holds both bedrooms: a peaceful double room and a cosy twin. The bathroom sits beyond the double room, giving those using it an en suite-style feel. Head upstairs to discover the bright, welcoming living space. Classic cottage features create a warm, homely atmosphere, with a dining table perfectly placed for relaxed meals or planning the day ahead. The adjoining kitchen is compact yet well equipped with everything needed for an easy, comfortable stay.

Outside, the courtyard garden provides plenty of space to sit back and unwind, creating a gentle, peaceful setting after days spent exploring. Parking is on-street or in nearby public car parks.
